The Gambia's Attorney General vows to enforce law against false news

BANJUL, Oct. 29 (Xinhua) -- The Gambia's Attorney General and Minister of Justice Aboubacarr Tambadou vowed on Monday that a law on false news will be enforced to deter irresponsible conduct.

He said that news reports on which the government will apply such laws on will be those that are covered with bias and could jeopardize the fragile peace of the country.

"My pronouncement that the country still has applicable laws to deter irresponsible conduct was only meant to serve as a reminder to those who are determined to deliberately spread lies for the promotion of personal agendas at the expense of our fragile peace and stability," he said at the launch of "Review of Gambia Media laws".
